Sgt Grit,

My name is Ken Johnson and I’m a former Marine. I served proudly from 1964-1968 and achieved the rank of Sgt E-5. I served in Vietnam from July of ’65 thru August of ’66 as an 0811. My home town is Kohler, Wisconsin.

While serving with “Echo” Battery, 2d Battalion, 12th Marines, I took this picture of the sign that appeared on our “4-holer”. I just recently began scanning my collection of Vietnam pictures into my computer and I couldn’t resist sending this to you. The sign means what it says, and on more than one occasion I left this 4-holer in a big hurry, with my trousers at half mast and clutching my M-14 in my hands!

I thought you might enjoy seeing it…………. Once a Marine, always a Marine.

Semper Fi,
Ken Johnson, USMC forever
